A few comments...

This session ID doesn't have to be generated from any user data. It can be a
completely random and unique string that you generate for any user who arrives
at your site without an active session. Even though it is probably very
difficult to reverse or guess a valid ID from your method above, the extra risk
isn't necessary.

Also, the IP address isn't a very good piece of data to use, because it is not
necessarily consistent. So, while it might make things harder for the bad guys
(to spoof the good guy's IP), it could also can make things hard for the good
guys (they are AOL users, lose their modem connection, etc.).

So doesn't this contradict everything I mentioned previously? No, the data I
mentioned keeping (User-Agent is my favorite example) is data that you can keep
on the server within the session, such as:

$_SESSION['user_agent'] = $_SERVER['USER_AGENT'];

That would be the first tme, of course. Since session variables aren't sent
to/from the client (unless you output one, of course), they are safer than
things transmitted across the public Internet. So, the session ID doesn't have
to have any data within it that makes it useless to anyone but the rightful
owner - the session that it is associated with on the server can instead. This
might make things simpler for you.

You lost me with that bit. While it is good that you want to eliminate any
unnecessary transmission of data across the Internet, the session ID is the one
thing the client *must* send you in order for you to maintain session. It is
how you identify who it is.

Maybe you can rephrase what you're asking?

Hope that helps.

You're probably right.

This is a wild guess, but I bet register_globals is disabled on your new host.
Check the archives for lots of good information about what this means, what you
need to do, etc. This question comes up weekly, so there should be plenty of
information.

Hope that helps.

Using the IP of the user may force things to break on the client
easily.  There are a number of users who are behind proxies that
change per request (ie aol users.) thus their session would become
obsolete on their next request.

Another issue would be inactivity for the session. You could also
keep keep track of an internal last_requested variable that would
expire after a certain amount of time.

I suppose it would depend on how secure you want your session to be
from SID hijaking.  A generation of key hash  per request would be
perhaps a little over kill if you are just keeping track of a last
page the person was on.  Handling sensitive information, however is
a different story (ie cc numbers).

If you don't want to use cookies, then you need to pass a session ID 
through the URL. That's your only answer. Or use POST forms everywhere 
to "hide" the session id. I don't understand what you mean by "unique 
names on each page" but I don't think that's any way to maintain state.

No that won't work
What we are trying to achieve is

send the code you have so far and i'll have a look.
After the loop use

That will show the array structure you have created.

Do the same for $_SESSION on the next page and it will all become

Re: [PHP] Best way to transfer session IDs

[Matthew A. Blasinski]

Thanks for the response Chris, that's just the type of thing I was 
looking for!

So, I'm thinking a plausible session id could be made by hashing their 
identification (to make it useful to the rightful owner only) with a 
private key (to make it hard to get and guess).  I think the 
identification could be their IP, user agent, and maybe one or two more 
constant headers.  The private key, of course, could be anything 
unguessable and kept secure.

This leads me to one more question - would it be better to pass this by 
PUTing it in the URL or generating it at the start of each page. 
Passing is pretty simple, but I think generating it has the added 
benefit of the end user being unable to forge it because it never leaves 
the server or comes from the client.  Does this seem reasonable and 
worthwhile?  (I have a habit of overcomplicating things like this :-))

Thanks again,

Matt

As a side note, you should probably use a word like "put" to describe placing
data in the URL like that, because "post" refers to a different method

As for session IDs, there are basically three ways you can have the client send
that to you:
1. In a Cookie header
2. In the URL
3. In the content section (POST)
These are all quite open to attack, especially over non-SSL connections (which
is the more popular case). In your case, cookies are probably not an option if
you are dealing with multiple domains. At the very least, they can only help to
track a session on one domain, and you'll have to develop a way to transfer the
session across domains anyway. POST is sort of a hassle, because you have to
make sure every request from your users is a POST. So, sending data in the URL
is probably your best choice.
Try to focus on two tasks as you try to secure this data transfer:

1. Try to make the session ID hard to get and hard to guess.
2. Try to make a stolen session ID useless to anyone but the rightful owner.
Too often, developers try to focus on (and depend on) task 1. While trying to
keep session IDs secret is good, task 2 is at least equally as important.
How do you achieve this? Consider an HTTP request from your legitimate user:

GET /blah.php?session_id=1234 HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
User-Agent: Mozilla (Gecko) Linux 2.4.1.2.3.4
There are usually many more headers, but this example will suffice. Now,
depending on specific HTTP headers is never a good plan (you might notice
people warning against depending on the Referer header), but this is only if
you do this for every user. The headers that the *same* user sends are going to
be much more consistent. In the above example, you can be pretty certain that,
regardless of HTTP proxies or anything else, the user is going to send the same
User-Agent header in each request. So, why not store this in the session (on
the server), and check to make sure it matches every time? This approach
shouldn't adversely affect your users, but it should complicate impersonation.
And that is how you play the game of security - try to make things easy for the
good guys and hard for the bad guys. By adding this simple User-Agent check, a
bad guy can't just use a stolen session ID to impersonate someone. The bad guy
has to also send the same User-Agent header. Can this be done? Sure, and it's
not too hard, but it is something, and everything helps.
Hopefully this can get your creative juices flowing.

Yes, it can be better to pass in a variable (by reference if you need
to write to it from within a function and not have it as the value
that you return), e.g.

function doSomething(&$a){
$a = 20;
return true; // to signify success
}

$a = 10;
doSomething($a);
echo $a; // prints 20

Your new host has session.use_trans_sid enabled, and perhaps your old one did
not.

The slash at the end is XHTML compliant, which is how PHP tries to add code (in
case you care about XHTML compliance).

The readfile() functions outputs the contents of the file and returns the size
of the file in bytes. So, when you assigned $result to the return value, you
demonstrated that readfile() output 0 bytes (which explains why you didn't see
anything).

I'm pretty sure your php.ini is set to allow this, otherwise you would receive
an error. I'm doubting whether that URL actually contains any content. How have
you tested to be sure it does?

[PHP] Best way to transfer session IDs

[Matthew A. Blasinski]

Hi,

I'm trying to track session data and merge several related services 
through a common server-side session (using Apache).  One condition is 
that it won't use cookies to store the user data OR the session ID. 
Another is that the services we're merging use different languages, 
including PHP and Perl (Apache::Session module) so whatever I use needs 
to be supported by both of these.

My question - what is the best way to "know" the session id between 
pages?  Posting it in the URL and using $_GET["PHPSESSID"] is one 
solution, but this seems like a hassle and is also open to attack if 
someone could "guess" a valid session ID.  Or, would it better to avoid 
transferring session ids altogether and generate unique "names" on each 
page?  What works well for generating the name?  I'm thinking something 
like a hash of their IP plus a private key, but maybe someone knows 
problems with this or has a better/easier solution.

Also, outside of changing session.use_cookies to false and 
session.save_path to a PHP- and Perl- happy location, are there any 
other php.ini or Apache settings I should be changing?

Any comments or thoughts are greatly appreciated!

The documentation for preg_match_all has an excelent pattern for
matching html tags:

preg_match_all ("/(<([\w]+)[^>]*>)(.*)(<\/\\2>)/", $html, $matches);

Re: [PHP] Freeze Pane

[Jason Martyn]

I will put up the link to the example later. I'd just like to mention one
thing if anyone else uses this solution:

You may want to put both tables in the  tags and give them both
absolute locations. This eliminates the possiblity of having a mismatched
table as different browsers are used.

This is probably under the category of javascript, however I would like ot
know if it is possible to be done with php.

Let's say I have a table that is 30 columns wide and so the entire table
doesn't fit on the screen. Is it possible (with php) to "freeze columns"
while scrolling across so you don't lose the original 2 columns?

And since it probably isn't, can someone suggest a language that would cover
this subject?

Thanks,

hi,

you also could run two static compiled versions of apache (if apache) with
php4 and 5 compiled in, but you need another ip-address to bind to - also
have to manage 2 apaches(not a problem or what? ,-).

I've done it... but you have to run one as CGI, one can be module or CGI.
To run one as CGI and one as module:

LoadModule php5_module "/path/to/php4apache.dll"
ScriptAlias /php/ "/path/to/php4/folder/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4
Action application/x-httpd-php4 /php/php.exe (I'm using windows)

Or to run both as CGI:
ScriptAlias /php4/ "/path/to/php4/folder"
ScriptAlias /php5/ "/path/to/php5/folder"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4

RE: [PHP] Debugging a Session Problem

[Lee Stewart]

I agree that it's probably a config problem -- somewhere...

Yes, the session ID is passed correctly, but since page1.php doesn't end up 
with any variables or values in the session file, so regardless that it has 
the right session ID, there's nothing in the session file to restore...

The php.ini file is in /etc/php.ini  (but that's where it's supposed to be 
in this distribution), and phpinfo shows it there, and when I turn 
register_globals on and off there, I see it change both in phpinfo and from 
a php script.

And if you want to look, a copy of my php.ini is available at 
http://4.43.81.92/phpini.txt

Your original code works for me, so it is a config issue somewhere.

Add this code to each file, to verify that the session ID is being correctly
passed:
echo "session id is " . session_id() . "";

Also, is your php.ini in /usr/local/lib? If PHP can't find it, it will use
its built-in defaults, which is register_globals off.

Hi guys.

Sorry, i know that was discussed earlier this month ... i just looked for

but there was an answer.

So, how do you setup the server again to have php4 run on the :80 port and
php5 on :8080 (apache server). Does it collide?

Quote:
If PHP has decided that filename specifies a registered protocol, and that
protocol is registered as a network URL, PHP will check to make sure that
allow_url_fopen is enabled. If it is switched off, PHP will emit a warning
and the fopen call will fail.

But then again, that's not the error it gave...

This code can be replaced with:

readfile('http://www.domain.com/test.txt');

As far as debugging problems related to this, check your php.ini and make sure
the URL wrapper is enabled. Otherwise, you will be restricted to your local
filesystem only.

That's only if you're going between frames, if the whole form (as usual) is

in the href put

..

Make a seperate array as you loop

$companies[$row['name']] = $row;

in your session store it as

$_SESSION['link'] = $companies;

You can then access it in profile php as

$details = $_SESSION['link']['$_GET['name']]

Hi,

Doest your ftp account have sufficient access rights for deleting theses
files ?
Is your apache user is "nobody" , the chmod will not work ( take a look at
your error log file), so,
only nobody or root will able to remove these entries..

Hello,

I'm having some slight issues. I have a script which creates a directory and
then copies a blank file into it 4 times each with different names. Here's
the code which does it:

  

After all that is done, it's fine. The problem I'm having is deleting the
folder in an FTP client. Whenever I go to delete it, it says it cannot
delete desc.txt because permission is denied. Is there any way to make it so
it can be deleted? Please help and reply soon. Thanks!

RE: [PHP] Debugging a Session Problem

[Johnson, Kirk]

Your original code works for me, so it is a config issue somewhere.

Add this code to each file, to verify that the session ID is being correctly
passed:

echo "session id is " . session_id() . "";

Also, is your php.ini in /usr/local/lib? If PHP can't find it, it will use
its built-in defaults, which is register_globals off.

Yes, cookies are enabled in the browser (and the same browser works with

When I set error_reporting to E_ALL I do get:

Re: [PHP] XML handlers in classes

If I remember well you can pass an array with object as the first 
element, function name as second:

xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, 
array($this,'startElement'),array($this,'endElement'));

Then I receive the error 'Unable to call handler startElement()', I tried to

[PHP] mssql_execute problems...

[T. Rader]

Hey,

System:  RH9, Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.3.2, FreeTDS 0.61 connecting to a Win2K
Server, MSSQL Server 2K

Problem: mssql_execute hangs when run.  The script just never comes back.
The code is as follows:
$macn = mssql_connect("SERVER", "UID", "PWD");
mssql_select_db("DB");
$stmt = mssql_init("dbo.Grade2_GET", $macn);
$result = mssql_execute($stmt);

I have compiled PHP with the --with-mssql option so it does find the
functions.  Also, the Stored Proc will run just fine if executed via
mssql_query().  But, I have some stored procedures that have output
parameters and thus I need to use mssql_execute().  I have searched rather
extensively on the 'net, and have seen a couple of posts about people saying
that it works correctly for them, but I am unable to get it to work.  I have
even gone as far as to try the nightly build of FreeTDS (0.62) just to see.
Also, my env for TDSVER = 7.0 per documentation

Does anyone have any ideas?  I am currently stumped and cannot seem to find
any answers via research...

TIA,
Tom

[PHP] file_put_contents()?

[Jonas Thorell]

Another stupid newbie question...(btw, is there a list more geared towards
the newbies?)

Is the file_put_contents() function not available in PHP 4.3.2?

The reason I ask is that I get this error when I try to use it:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() 
File_get_contents work though.

Or maybe I am using it wrong?

This is how I try to do it:

$handle=file_put_contents($filename,$fil);

With $fil filled with what I want in the file named $filename (both
$fil and $filename are filled with the appropiate content).

[PHP] PHP Email use alternate SMTP

[Tom Vogel]

Hi, i'm trying to set up an email form on my website. When I originally ran
the server from windows I could simply set SMTP = mailhost.ucalgary.ca and
it would work. After moving the server to Mac OS X, I can't get it to work.

I've read a bunch of FAQ's but they all seem to insist that I set up my own
mail server using sendmail. All I need to do is send however, and I would
prefer to do that through the network mail servers.

It looks like sendmail sends out to 0.0.0.0 looking for an smtp server, but
on the bio.ucalgary.ca domain that I am on, there is no mail server.

Getting to the point (pardon my deranged yabbering...), all I need to do is
send messages through mailhost.ucalgary.ca from my server
groningen.bio.ucalgary.ca under OS X.2.

Thanks

Seem to remember something about starting a session and then redirecting

redirect.

If you are relying on cookies to transmit the session ID, make sure you have
session cookies enabled in your browser. Also check that you don't have an
.htacess file in your directory that is overriding the register_globals
setting. Turn your error_reporting up to E_ALL and see if PHP has anything
to say to you.

[PHP] XML handlers in classes

[Robert Fitzpatrick]

I have a class that receives an XML response from a HTTP request and I am
trying to parse the XML after receiving it. The problem I'm having is the
error when trying to use xml set handlers, such as
'xml_set_element_handler'. It seems the class is having trouble seeing the
handler functions. For instance, if I set this:

  xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, 'startElement','endElement');

Then I receive the error 'Unable to call handler startElement()', I tried to
put $this-> in front of the names of the functions, but same thing. Can
someone show me how to use these handlers in a class?

[PHP] Rewrite and tags.

[Simon Fredriksson]

How can I easiest rewrite A and IMG tags? I'm fetching a page with 
fsockopen() and I need to rewrite these tags before sending it on to a user.

My own theory is that it's made with Regular Expressions. I just don't 
know these myself.

[PHP] Debugging a Session Problem

[Lee Stewart]

I'm moving an application that I'm in the trying to move to a new 
platform.   It was running fine on an older Linux platform with PHP 
4.0.3 and Apache 1.3.14.  The new platform is also Linux, with PHP 4.2.2 
and Apache 1.2.26 -- with register_globals on.  (I just upgraded it from 
4.2.2.36 to 4.2.2.69 which is the latest rpm on SuSE's site, with no 
change in the problem.)

The symptom is that when I attempt to save a session variable, it 
creates the session file in /tmp, but with a zero length - no variable 
names or values stored.  (/tmp is globally read/write)  This happens not 
only with the application I'm moving, but also with the "world's 
simplest global test pages" below.

[page1.php]

[page2.php]
";
?>
You can try it yourself at http://4.43.81.92/page1.php and also see 
PHPinfo at http://4.43.81.92/phpinfo.php

Because no one else seems to have this problem, I assume it's something 
on my system, or in the way things are set up, as opposed to a PHP code 
problem.   What I'm looking for is any hints or tips of how to begin 
debugging it and finding how come it will create the session files, but 
leave them with zero length and no information...

Any suggestions would be appreciated...

I know this isn't really the answer you were looking for but the best
way to determine this is to create a test page using the product sql
queries and time them. Put them in a loop of maybe 100 iterations and
see how long it takes to execute the two different queries.

Start Timer
For(100 times)
{
Execute my original query
}
Stop Timer

echo Stop Timer minus Start Timer

Start Timer
For(100 times)
{
Execute my new query
}

echo Stop Timer minus Start Timer

That will give you some good info.

Also I've been told that you should never use SELECT *. I've been told
that this causes extra overhead on the db because it has to first query
the table to figure out what columns are in the table and THEN select
them. It's faster to list all the fields, even if you want to select all
of them.

In fact it might be worth your while to try four different tests.

1. Original Query

2. New Query

3. Original Query with Fields Listed

4. New Query with Fields Listed


Let us know what happens.


Chris.

p.s. In case you don't know, look into the microtime() function for
examples of how to time your scripts.

Re: [PHP] Are left joins more efficient?

[Pete James]

THese are very different things, generally.  The first join is an INNER 
join.  It pulls all records that have the matching ids.  The left join 
is an OUTER join.  It pulls ALL records from table1, and any matching 
records from table2.   This is useful if you want customer and address 
info, but want all customers, regardless of whether they have addresses 
or not.

They are very different.

If you are actually meaning to ask about whether this

SELECT * FROM table1,table2 WHERE table1.id=table2.id;

is better or worse than (note the lack of LEFT)

SELECT * FROM table1 JOIN table2 ON table1.id=table2.id;

then that is dependent on your database.  I can't comment on MySQL, but 
PostgreSQL, for instance, will usually optimize the second query better. 
 But it is highly dependent on what you're doing and where you're doing it.

If I understand this right you want to set a php $var to 'a' then
increment that so it becomes 'b', 'c', 'd', etc..

thus..
$var = ord('a');
while ($var <= ord('z') ) {
  echo chr($var) , '="";', "\n";
  $var++;
}

I agree with Curt, why reinvent the wheel. I mean even if you are like me
and cannot access the command-line on your web server (which really really
sucks) then there are still other tools that can do this very same thing. If
you just want to click on a link and backup the db why not use the load data
infile (of course this does not backup the database structure just the data)
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/LOAD_DATA.html. Or why not just get phpMyAdmin
and upload it to your server. It already has these features plus many
others, and of course the best part is it is open source
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/. So why take the time of
reinventing the wheel?
Of course this is just my dumb opinion...so you can always take it or leave
it.

Thanks for you all's help but,

I've tried all three of these lines and get nothing at all, blank. On the 
other hand I tried 

exec( 'grep "\" ' .$tmp, $match);

I was abe to get the titles. The odd thing was that if for example I had a 
list of 8 hits there would be dups in the list. Checking it closer I found 
that grep was stopping at the sub-dir for example two files, same sub-dir:

/~hatridge/bulletin/summer03/file1.php
/~hatridge/bulletin/summer03/file2.php

/~hatridge/bulletin/spring03/file3.php
/~hatridge/bulletin/spring03/file4.php


The returns would be 

title1
title1

title3
title3

Any ideas?

TIA!

RE: [PHP] mysqldump

[David Smith]

I agree with Curt, why reinvent the wheel. I mean even if you are like me
and cannot access the command-line on your web server (which really really
sucks) then there are still other tools that can do this very same thing. If
you just want to click on a link and backup the db why not use the load data
infile (of course this does not backup the database structure just the data)
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/LOAD_DATA.html. Or why not just get phpMyAdmin
and upload it to your server. It already has these features plus many
others, and of course the best part is it is open source
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/. So why take the time of
reinventing the wheel?
Of course this is just my dumb opinion...so you can always take it or leave
it.
David

perhaps something like  would be a whole lot easier:
`mysqldump [options] db tables`;

My general policy is don't revent the wheel unless it isn't round.

Re: [PHP] Some SESSION Vars not Registering

[Jeff Stillwall]

John and Curt;

Thank you both very much for your help (and persistence) in this matter.
Ultimately, I used John's suggestion: creating $_SESSION['userArray'][vars].
It works.  I get to keep my vars named what I want.  In some ways, it's more
elegant than what I was doing in that it compartmentalizes the user vars.

Yeah - seems similar, but not quite the same.  You (Curt) were able to
execute my code without problem.  My code on my servers failed 100% of the
time, whereas the bug in the report only showed up intermittently.

Thank you both again!

Let's say I have a table that is 30 columns wide and so the entire table doesn't fit on the screen. Is it possible (with php) to "freeze columns" while scrolling across so you don't lose the original 2 columns?

And since it probably isn't, can someone suggest a language that would cover this subject?

Thanks,

[PHP] Re: Freeze Pane

[Rob Adams]

I recently had to do something similar, except with the first row, instead
of the the first columns.  The way I did it was by creating two different
tables, and putting the second table inside a  tag something like
follows:



Here is an example I found on MS website about how to use this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/scrollTop.htm

Using this you can set how much data you want to display and then let it
create scroll bars right inside your page.  I think it's a little bit
cleaner than frames.

Ok - this is kinda weird, but I got it to work on my machine after getting
the same error.
I tried including a page off a different server and it worked just fine.  So
I started messing around and got the following to work for the page you're
trying to include:

  include('http://wiu.edu/SGA/');

Of course, the graphics don't show...
Don't ask me why that works instead, but it does for me.  Give it a shot.
